HAPPY HALLOWEEN! SPOOKY! SCARY! BOO!

I know it's not really Halloween for most of the world, but I REALLY wanted to post on Halloween! It's my favorite holiday!

ilikepie3.14: I think there is a lot of things that would be hard for me to give up on. The hardest out of them all might be myself. I know it might seem selfish, but really I feel like in the grand scheme of things, it would be. My mind is kind of a twisted mess of thought and panic most of the time, yet so how I managed to hold together despite my mind being stitched at the seams. To give up on it now would be easy in a sense of burden, but definitely one of the hardest things I would have to do. However, I feel like I would do it if I needed to.

Sorry if that was long, had to answer the question. Thanks! Remember to ask me some yourself! It's interesting to see what you ask!

Also, omg! As of this moment, this story has 97 followers and 73 favorites! Like HOLY SHIT! I would not think that so many people who like this! Thank you so much! It means a lot to me!

Spooky disclaimer: *walks around with a white blanket over me* I do not own Danny Phantom! So scary! Boo! *trips over blanket and becomes a pile of flesh moaning in pain on the floor*

Chapter 14

Danny could not have been more right. After fully telling the entire story of the disastrous 'field trip,' Pandora was livid. For that past seven minutes straight, she had been cursing everything that played a part in the wreckage, Walker and his prison, and anything else she deemed worthy in furious Greek. Sam had covered Dani's ears once it started, then eventually her eyes when when Pandora began to pretend to rip everyone involved to shreds. Sure, it might of been pretend, but it was still something that the little girl would want to see.

Pandora couldn't help herself with her behavior. Whatever, whoever, had caused this, or caused her little darlings to go through that much pain, would be torn apart. No, that was too light of a punishment, thrown into the Void, that sounds better for the perpetrator. She knew very well Danny and his friends could take care of themselves just fine; in fact, she had helped train Danny to better perfect his fighting style, it was because of her that he was unbeatable, even by her most finest and strongest warriors. He did get in a lot of practice. That wasn't the point though, it was in her motherly and kind nature. Seriously, the whole point of her box was to keep the Earth's evils inside, why would she let something like this slide? She saw Danny as a son, her son, his human mother had been unfit for the role to which her nature had easily formed to. She knew Danny didn't mind, his mother was a bitch and full humans, not including Danny's friends, confused her. Humans.

Still, Danny was not surprised and was quite amused compared to everything that had been going on. The rest of them seemed to feel the same way about what was going on as he did, even Dani would only heard every five words clearly. Eventually, Pandora stopped her rambling and took a deep breath, not to breathe, but merely calm down, and turned to face the five once more. Sam felt it was safe enough to remove her hands from Dani's eyes and ears. Dani smiled brightly as her senses were recovered.

"Alright," Pandora said, "So, you all went on a field trip to explore the Infinite Realms, to which no one except for you four had any knowledge of this place prior, then somehow crashed," Danny heard her voice begin to rise again, her instincts kicking in, "And then lead your entire class here, only to be stopped by that-" Sam covered Dani's ears again, "-Then Dora, that sweet girl, helped you here?"

"Yeah," Danny said, rubbing his neck. "And we kind of need to ask for another thing…"

"Well, go on dearie."

"Um, is there anyway you can help us to the Far Frozen? I know that the trireme will be enough to hold the entire class, but I would rather them not stay too long on a ship that has my name plastered on everything."

Pandora knew what he was talking about. It had been a birthday gift, the trireme. Beautiful, magnificent, trimmed in silver, white, black, and a stunning green. It didn't really have his name written on everything, but his picture, along with the rest of them, hung around the quarters.

"Of course, son. Actually, a messenger came by earlier today with a report from Frostbite about that certain thing you've been working on for the past few months." Pandora said, extracting a piece of paper from a fold of cloth under her armor. Danny took the paper without second though, and pocketed it himself. He would have to read it later, though he was fairly sure he knew what it was about.

"Thank you so much Mamά." Danny said, sighing in relief. Sam had already uncovered the little girl's ears after the second time, and Dani was now running to Danny's side, to which he picker her up effortlessly. He smiled at her, then at his friends who were coming to stand beside him.

"Well, it has been quite a long day. You five go freshen up, your rooms should be ready and I will have someone come to assist you. Dinner is in a few hours, and it should always be a goal to look your best." She said. Along with her motherly nature, she was also a bit of a perfectionist. It would help explained why everything was spotless. Even the war room floor didn't have a single scuff mark on it and the large, red wood table was free of dust.

"Of course." Valerie said, smiling brightly.

Pandora smiled back at them, then waved her hand. The door opened and the five left the room, leaving Pandora inside to collect her thoughts.

"When I find those methusai's who did this, I will have my soldiers bash their head in, then leave the remains to Cerberus to finish off." She said darkly and turned to leave the room to get ready herself.

Star couldn't help staring in awe at the large guest room she had been lead to. The rest of her classmates had been lead to seperate rooms as well; Paulina's, in fact, was only a few doors down. This room had silk curtains covered the gold trimmed windows and lavender dyed linens laid over the queen sized bed. Around her potted plants, each held in marble vases, were full of beautiful flowers of many kinds and colors and arranged in a way that looked perfect. There was a desk in the room as well, made of splendid white wood with golden jewelry boxes on top. To her left was another room, a closet really, that was almost as big as the room itself and made of the same gold-trimmed marble as the rest of the palace. Right by the bed was a full length mirror, a twisting-vine design trailing around its edges.

"Is that all, Miss Star?" Said a young feminine voice. Star turned to look at the servant that had been helping her. The servant, who had not said her name, had on a long dress of pale white fabric. Her hair was short, unlike the women that Star had seen in the agora. She also had on worn leather sandals, yet they did not seem to aggravate the girl's feet. Star wondered how she could walk in them.

"Oh, um, yes. Like, thank you." Star said.

The servant nodded. "Are the clothing to your likings?"

Star glanced in the mirror. She was dressed in a floor length lavender chiton made of silk that was bunched up around the waist where a golden belt sat and golden peronia fastened the garment at her shoulders. The chiton was laced with golden ornaments that glistened with every step she took and golden bracelets wound up her arms. It was looser than her own skin-tight clothing, but found it quite comfortable. She also had on sandals, yet were of much nicer quality than the servant girl's. Her bright blond hair was twisted and braided up into an elaborate hairstyle and a golden hair band kept it in place. Star wasn't sure what to think of this.

"Yes, thanks...again." Star said, still taking in her appearance.

The servant nodded and smiled, then turned towards the door.

"Um...like...could you show me the...whereever I'm supposed to be going?" Star asked nervously.

The servant nodded. "Of course. Please, follow me."

Star didn't say anything else till they reached a large room with high ceilings. Lights hung from the walls, just like they were in the main hall, and multiple flowers and plants were scattered. There were windows too, yet unlike in her room, no curtains covered them. A large circular white table rested in the middle of the room, yet even though it looked as if it could hold at least a hundred people, or ghosts, didn't even take up half of the room. Chairs were already being placed at it, along with silver goblets and trays.

Star thanked the girl once more then scanned the room. Right on the other side of the table she saw Paulina and a few more classmates. She ran over to them.

"Oh my god! Can you believe this place?" Said Paulina, "My room is huge, like, bigger than my own!"

"I know, right?" Star said once she got close enough. It was only the A-listers so far, the nerds and adults had been the last to get rooms and no one knew where the weird four had gone. "Like, look! The servant girl in my room gave me this! And said I could keep it!" Star said, holding up her wrist to show the gold bracelet that rested there. It was embedded with amethysts and emeralds with diamonds scattered about. Paulina and a Sarah, another cheerleader, stared in awe of the jewelry even though they were wearing similar pieces.

The small group heard chuckling behind them and turned. Leaning against the wall was Valerie who was wearing a silk, floor length crimson chiton much like Star's. A gold belt rested under the fold of the chiton and a silk peplos was draped over top and was pinned at her shoulders. She was wearing sandals as well as multiple bits of jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, and even a ring on her right ring finger. A majority of her dark hair was braided up in a bun at the back of her head with two strands framing her face, a gold band with a red ribbon wound around it was placed in her hair as well.

"The Greeks were big with their hospitality." She said, still resting against the wall, arms crossed and a knowing smile on her face. She pushed off it and began to walk over to them.

"Hey Val…" Kwan said.

"What's going on here?" Dash said. he was sick and tired of not being in charge. He might start having to push people out of windows if this continued, Dash was always in charge!

Valerie gestured around them. "Isn't it obvious? We're going to eat soon. A feast actually." The dark skinned girl said.

Dash rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but why, genius?"

Valerie's green eyes sparkled with mirth. "Because we're here."

Paulina interjected. "Yeah. I know I'm important, my padre always says that, but that still doesn't explain anything!" She said, clearly annoyed.

"Yeah!" Said Craig. "And where are your weird friends anyways?"

Valerie rolled her eyes. "Tucker is charging his PDA, and Sam and Danny are helping Dani. They should be here soon." She said, crossing her arms.

Dash was about to say something when the sound of footsteps cut him off. "Hey Val!"

The A-listers and Valerie turned to see Tucker and Sam walking up to them, dressed just as regally as Valerie. Sam was wearing something similar to Val, yet instead as dark purple and a gold and black ribbon was wrapped around her waist along with a gold belt. Her onyx hair was braided into a bun as well and a gold headband rested on top of her head, a dark purple flower sticking up from the bun. The crystal necklace rested on her chest and countless bands and bracelets covered her arms. Tucker, however, was wearing a yellow knee length chiton with was held at his waist by a girdle and a himation laid across it with a golden peronia holding it. Leather sandals rested on his feet with the straps winding up his legs till mid calf. He had on a gold arm band on his upper right arm and his beret that he usually wore was gone, revealing his slightly longer hair. His glasses, however, remained sitting on his nose.

Valerie smiled. "Hey guys!" She said.

Tucker walked up to her and gave her a quick kiss. Sam stood beside them. "So what have you been going?" The goth asked.

Valerie shrugged. "Just telling them we're eating soon." She said, point at the A-listers. Tucker made a confirming noise while Sam glared at them quickly then looking back at her friend.

"Say, where's Danny and Dani?" Valerie said, not seeing the two.

"Danny's helping Dani with her hair and told me to go up ahead. They'll be here in a few." Sam said.

As they were talking, Mickey, NAthan, and their sisters had walked in, talking as they approached the group. Everyone began to talk with their own social group as the rest of the nerds filed in, only leaving the adults. No one noticed Sam waving her hand at a vase of slightly dropping flowers, making them brighten up. No one, except for Star.

Star was curious about this, yet just as she was about to ask a scream pierced the air. Everyone froze, the scream was one they knew.

"Sam! Sam! Uncle Tucker! Aunt Valerie! Sam!" Shouted Dani as she ran into the room, the screaming ricocheting off the walls.

"Dani!" The three cried out, running up to the now hysterical girl.

"Danny...crying...Fentons...you warned...didn't listen...panic...afraid…in the hallway..." The small girl said between sobs.

Sam wasted no time. She sprinted out of the room and saw what Dani was trying to say. About ten meters from the door was Jack and Maddie, who were closing in on a thrashing figure on the floor. Strangled sobs and screaming echoed down the hall and embedded themselves in her mind.

"Move!" She said once she was close enough and pushed them aside. Sure enough, there was Danny, curled up into a ball on the floor, cursing and shouting, tears running down his face and staining his green chiton. Sam immediately went besides him and pulled him close to her, holding his head to her chest and arms by his sides. Tucker and Valerie were next to arrive, Dani right behind them, not wanted to see anymore of the scene. Their classmates followed.

Tucker went to Danny's other side and dropped onto his knees, rubbing his best friend's back in a form of comfort. Danny instantly recognized his friend's touch and began to relax, his screams fading out, and tears beginning to slow. Valerie had sat down by him as well, holding Dani close to her, trying to calm the child down.

After a few minutes, Danny went silent, but was still awake. A vacant expression was on his face and Sam whispered something in his ear. Tucker and Sam helped Danny stand up and supported his sides once seeing that his legs were on the verge of collapsing. He swayed on his feet before allowing the two to escort him down the hall, back to his room. Solum looks rested on Sam and Tucker's faces. Valerie, once realizing Dani had fallen asleep, stood only to be gazed at by confused and frightful faces.

"What?" She snapped.

Maddie, who was at the front of the crowd, straighten up. "'What?' I'll tell you 'what?' You four have been keeping secrets, and I want to know what's going on!" She said furiously. "I want to know how you four know the Ghost Zone so well! And I'm not buying the 'we've been here before' as the full truth! How you four know so many of these monstrosities! So I confronted him, yet he wouldn't say anything! I want to know why he referred to that...thing...as his mother when I clearly am! Then he started getting panic-y and told me to stop, and then he started screaming! I tried to tell him he was making a scene, but then that happened! That's 'what'!" Maddie said, her voice getting louder at every sentence till she was almost shouting.

Valerie felt her rage bubble over. Still grasping Dani in her arms, who was surprisingly still asleep, she walked up to the red-haired woman and glared at her. "Now, I don't know what gave you the right to do this, but Danny is my friend, and no one hurts my friends. Danny is one of the best people I have ever met, and I don't know how you're his mother when you're just a pathetic excuse for a human being that deserves whatever hell fire your soul transcends to." She stopped, just before her rage could take control. Her voice had been cold like ice and felt like knifes burying deep into one's heart. She glared at Jack and Maddie once more, then left the same way Danny, Sam, and Tuck had gone. After a minute, she had vanished from their sight, leaving the two adults and the stunned class in the hallway who were still trying to grasp what was going on. After another minute, Mr. Lancer walked down the hallway, trying to fix his blue tunic to make his protruding stomach seem smaller. He noticed them as he got closer.

"The Odyssey! What did I miss?"
